it's limit is 5 visitors, ample for most testing purposes. note that
Chazbot keeps visitors who left the world in memory for a while to speed
up returns. To clear the visitorlist press Cleanup in the visitorlist
screen

I'd never pay for a dumb bot since Active Worlds isn't worth buying models,
bots or anything except citizenship even Worlds aren't worth the money.

Wouldnt say it was a dumb bot...its pretty good but i wouldnt pay for it
when there are excellent bots out there that are freeware.

Its ofcourse your decision to pay or not.
Whether its necessary to dub someones work as 'dumb' when you dont know
what you are talking about is just plain silly.

Many people shell out 30 ore more for avatars or objects, which are build
much faster then a comprehensive bot like Chazbot.

On an hour basis i'd need to sell thousands of copies to even make a
minimum wage out of Chazbot.

Trust me, this is not a 'moneymaking scheme' but just to make up for:

1 copy of BCB 6, at $2000
1 copy of 3rd party libs at $400
+/- 2000 hours of work at $60 p/h (about 10 weeks full time)

If i calculate this conservatively i come to about $120000 total, so i'll
just break even if i sell 4000 copies

But ofcourse, as per usual why pay for it if you can gripe about the bad
offerings right?

[View Quote] LoL Wow, BCB really is a rip off. There's always free libraries to replace the 3rd
party ones... and there are lots of free IDEs (like DEV-C++)... and since this _is_ a
bot... you don't get paid for hobbiest time put into a project.

Sorry didn't mean to say dumb, I meant to me it just seems dumb to pay but
then again It's cool to see what people make so to me it's dumb to pay but
hard work should be paid off.
